Online Debate.

It’s something we all have seen.

We see it everywhere. Facebook. Twitter. News Agencies. Radio Stations. Magazines.

There are things that get us angry. There are people that poke the bear and stir the pot.

Sometimes it connects us. Friends make friends.

However,sometimes it divides us.

The intention of intelligent discussion has led to insults. Friends have ended Friends. Family members have cut off family members because of opinions. There have been death threats, stalking and flat out insults.

There seems to be a rise in anger and division. Some are willing to dig in. Some have backed off.

Joining us to help us with that is Martin Godwyn.

Martin received his Ph.D. from UBC in 2005 having acquired his M.Phil. from Cambridge University and a BA (Hons.) from Southampton University. His main philosophical interests lie in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, epistemology, and the philosophy of Wittgenstein. He has taught at a number of post-secondary institutions in the Vancouver area including UBC, SFU, Kwantlen University, and BCIT.
When not engaging in philosophical pursuits he is often to be found hiking/snow-shoeing the trails, or climbing the mountains, of Western Canada.

Topics we cover include;
-Using Facts
-Emotions
-Listening
-Skill and Persuasion.
-Good moderation..

We also look at some of the discussions we have had on my Facebook page and see where things went right and things need to improve.
